I don't know about that. Lots of bikes here in the mountains of NC, and my head always snaps when I see that new light bright green that people are wearing in jackets. I think Olympia has one out. I personally switched from a black Imax to a green one and I saw it at the first stop sign: guy visibly snapped his head when I came into his vision. Thing was, it was on my route to work, and we were in synch here many times. Never saw him do that before!
The helmet that was safety orange is a different story. Shoei had one out years ago that would pop in a big way, I think it was the Blaze. I'd love an orange helmet. Next is a canary yellow. Funny, the chrome domes (I have one of those also) are next to invisible to me. You would think that the light reflects amd blinds people, but it doesn't.
But I am sorry, red and black, I don't see it much, even though I wear it myself. And I am looking for motorcyclists, and know that they wear them in those colors, but I just don't notice the helmet. Sorry.
